Published: 05 Dec 2017

Star signs are enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, so we thought we’d dig a little deeper and really discover what makes each star sign tick in the workplace. Even better, which marketing job your star sign is best aligned to. Without further ado…

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

You are a natural born leader Aries, but you’re not necessarily receptive to working for a boss. Your boss needs to have a style that gives you autonomy as you don’t enjoy restrictions at work. You’re keen to become a leader in the workplace as fast as possible, so no matter what the path it must demonstration clear progression. You have strong people skills and thrive off a little competition. You’d make a fantastic Marketing Director, making your way up by realising goals quickly to advance through the ranks. You’re no ‘Steady Eddie’ and you won’t stop until you get to the top. You’re ambitious, assertive and not afraid to take the spotlight in a variety of professional situations.

You’re known for your stability, reliability and strategic thinking in the workplace. With a practical mindset, you find it easy to take the lead when needed but you also know how to take a backseat and work diligently as part of a team. Being one of the most dependable and hardworking star signs, you thrive best in an open and collaborative environment, where good work and dedication is recognised. Taurus, everything in your nature points towards a career as a Planner or a Strategist, potentially in an agency environment which gives you the opportunity to work on a variety of different projects. Your ambition drives you forward and you tend to take on new responsibilities with relative ease.

Gemini, you prosper in fast-paced environments which offer you plenty variety and keep you engaged. Whether that variety comes in the form of people, creative projects or extra-curricular activities and societies, you want to be involved. The only problem is, you’re at risk of getting bored easily and this is something you know you need to work on rather than move on every six months. Your need for speed in the workplace coupled with your exceptional communication skills would make you an excellent account handler or sorts. As someone who is highly adaptable, you’re great in a role where you’re seen as the go-between and a real key player in keeping those cogs turning. You’re very mentally active and enjoy constant stimulation and the ability to relay information as a trusted and highly respected member of the team.

Cancer is the most nurturing sign of the zodiac and in the office environment, you’re always seen as the go-to whenever your colleagues need support. You enjoy offering colleagues advice and solving problems from both a social and professional perspective. As a Cancer, it is very important that your work contains a strong sense of purpose and it’s vital that whatever you’re doing is helping others on some level. Because of these qualities, you generally prefer to work as part of team and enjoy the motivation that comes with this. You’d be a brilliant marketer in the public sector for the sense of impact and purpose that kind of role would give. Similarly, you’d be great in any role that either focusses on the greater good or gives you a chance to help and mentor others.

Confident, charismatic and fearless, Leo you are a born leader. You adore being a major player within your organisation and relish in the role of boss or manager. Leos get a real kick out of inspiring others in the workplace. You love being in control and enjoy autonomy. You’re one of the most creative of all the star signs and it’s important you’re given ample opportunity to exploit this. You tend to be experienced in more than one area with an overwhelming desire to learn new skills. You’re an inspiring leader who can motivate even the most languid of teams to achieve great things. As someone who is incredibly passionate and enjoys using their imagination at work, a creative role would be perfect for you!

Virgo, the zodiacs greatest perfectionist! You’re a natural follower who takes direction well and never struggles with the concept of having a boss. You tend to be a practical, hands-on colleague, who will have the patience to assist anyone who asks for help. With a keen eye for detail, you excel in anything that requires either first-class service or mass research and statistics. You love to connect the dots between data and creativity and feel your best when you’re operating in an organised and meticulous manner. Because of this, you’d thrive in an analytical, data-driven role which requires substantial concentration and accuracy.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Libras are naturally adept when it comes to bringing people together, as well as benefitting from first-class negotiation skills. Understanding people’s needs on all levels and from multiple perspectives is your superhuman ability and your well-balanced, diplomatic approach proves very popular with anyone you encounter both personally and professionally. As a true ‘people person’, you’re happiest when working closely with others and find a role of this nature extremely rewarding as well as genuinely stimulating. You understand how to cooperate with others to make the most out of any situation and your clients are more like old friends than business partners.

Scorpios are the most discreet of all the star signs, and as such, you tend to find yourself in positions of great trust and respect at work. You tend to be someone who thrives whilst amid top-level negotiations or great responsibility, whether that be for a team or when managing large budgets. The more a role can challenge you, the more likely you’ll remain loyal and interested within an organisation. You prefer to go for roles that most people would shy away from with an interest in logistics, operations and finance-based positions. You’re an intense and passionate person who gets a kick out of working hard and you get any job done no matter how difficult it is.

As a Sagittarius you have a natural propensity for inspiring morale and you adapt to change with remarkable ease. Generally, you’re a great colleague and employee to have around because you tend to be good at most things you put your mind to. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and don’t like feeling restricted by red tape. Many marketing jobs and pathways will align themselves well with you if they offer you the level of autonomy you desire to succeed. As a keen socialite, you love a role which requires you to travel and gain new experiences, so this will be high on your agenda when selecting a new role.

The Capricorn is the one of the most serious and pragmatic signs of the zodiac but despite this, you possess considerable charisma and enthusiasm, especially when it comes to the management of others. You deal with authority well as an employee because you understand that with the right work ethic, that managerial role you’ve had your eye on for the last two years could be yours. As a Capricorn, you’re a notorious workaholic, but it’s important to invest time in other areas of your life such as your relationships and any hobbies you might have. With substantial production skills, you would benefit from a role within a corporate organisation where your pathway of progression is clearly set out. Detail-orientated and resourceful you’d be well-suited to brand or account management. A role where you have several human touch-points would be ideal.

As an Aquarius, you are the free spirit of the zodiac. You’re the ideas person who enjoys thinking out-of-the-box. You’re a social person but you also enjoy spending time alone, making you a good all-rounder as an employee. It’s essential that you work somewhere that either gives you complete freedom or at least gives you the freedom to share some of your, perhaps, ‘wacky’ but brilliant ideas. A true creative, you’re a natural storyteller and your witty sense of humour makes you popular in the office. Generally, Aquarians are more suited to a career as an entrepreneur or to independent contracting work, so if this is something you’ve considered you should explore it. Your unusual methods of doing things are appealing to fellow creatives even if not everybody “gets’ you.

As a Pisces, you’re very sensitive to the needs of others, and you’re the person in the office that everyone goes to if they’ve got a problem. You’re a bit of an office ‘Agony Aunt’, but take it as a compliment that your laidback and flexible nature makes you an approachable member of the team. Luckily, you do well in a variety of different marketing roles. As long are you’re able to get involved in clubs, training or mentoring, you tend to thrive in any workplace. You’re passionate, intuitive and artistic and you love to be the one to introduce new strategies and philosophies at work. A role which requires a creative eye would be ideal for you.
